BEST FRIEND OF MY LIFE

about

Nostalgia for innocence. For that time in the bright sun when your Best Friend meant Everything. Knew those secrets you were sure your parents did not. An un-sexualized first love and wild laughter.

lyrics

BEST FRIEND OF MY LIFE

123456
123456

Screen door bangin
Ol’ man’s drinkin
Two dogs barkin
In the yard

A baseball
Hits a glove
Real hard

If yr lucky
You can count on
Jes’ 6 fingers
All yll ever need
You r the best friend
Of my life
You r

123456
123456

Flannel pajamas
N pick up sticks
A tree house n
A nose t pick

A lollipop
A torn picket
You can’t fix it
Maybe i can

If yr lucky
You can count on
Jes’ 6 fingers
All yll ever need
You r the best friend
Of my life
You r

123456
123456

Dirty knees n dirty pictures
Sneakin’ out n burnin’ bridges

Two boys runnin
Under the stars
A sputnik
Like a scalpel
Cuts a scar

If yr lucky
You can count on
Jes’ 6 fingers
All yll ever need
You r the best friend
Of my life
